Just For A Smile

This has nothing to do with the hCG diet but I thought this is one of the most creative videos I've seen and it made me smile so I wanted to share.

1 Pound Down..Another 1 Bites The Dust

I wouldn't advocate doing the Thin So Fast plan over the hCG diet protocol because it isn't easy and yes I do miss chewing food and the 1 meal a day o, man, I live for my dinner and relish every bit.

Last night I fixed Orange Roughy fish and had a spinach salad with Bragg - Apple Cider Vinegar, gallon, 1 liquid and made some homemade soup with miracle noodles. Just organic french onion soup and the noodles. . And it was the best meal I had all day! I felt with the lack of food the added fiber miracle noodles has would bring fullness and fiber does a body good!

Don't get me wrong It's not that bad, I do have some tasty shake recipes to make it interesting and add flavor.

It's good to have a plan B but I can't wait to get back to the hCG diet plan ASAP!

2 Pounds Down

Since I had to quickly interrupt my hCG diet protocol R2P2 thanks to my cycle, I want to thank Thin So Fast for helping me to continue to be a loser!

I did the hCG diet gorge days & started shots Christmas Eve but quickly had to stop on Sunday. So I continued with a quick weight loss plan to keep me going while this is over. Men are lucky in that regard.

I didn't want to cheat on the hCG diet on this round as I want to lose as much weight as possible during this round. BUT I do know how to recover from a cheat and cheat on the hCG diet correctly. But that's not my goal this round.

My goal this round is to do the hCG diet plan stickily and only do T-Tapp and walk. Okay that maybe blown a bit, but I'm still around 500-600 calories so we shall see.

New Year

With 2009 soon ending and 2010 coming in you need to make sure you have your hCG diet plan together. Buying hCG online, is easy or making hCG drops yourself with real hCG is affordable once you know how.

I decided to do Thin So Fast until my cycle is over as I wanted to jump start 2010 goals Christmas Eve but my body had other plans a few days later. But I'm all stock up on my hCG diet food and purchased @ my hCG shop and all my hCG supplies as well.

Look forward to less of me and you in 2010!

Starting . . . Kinda

Well I was supposed to start today my Round 2 of my hCG diet plan, but guess what? My cycle is here! I guess it would help if I kept up with it but I really don't. Denial

What I will do, to get a head start on my new 2010, is follow one of the quick weight loss plans on the site hCG Diet Journey until this is over and then go to the hCG diet protocol a la Dr. Simeons. I will do the Candida cleans that Kevin Trudeau recommends this round.

No I'm not a hCG Diet drop or hCG Diet Homeopathic person. Four simple reasons.

1. I have yet to find anything in herbs that mimic the hCG hormone.
2. From what I gather reading various sites and doing some research, it's not a human hormone that others are using to make the hCG but animal and frankly then it's not hCG as the "h" stands for human.
3. I'm a purest and Dr. Simeons only used shots for his hCG diet protocol and Kevin Trudeau followed suit.
4. When ephedrine went off the market (curse the FDA) many other herbal replacements came on the market and frankly, NONE matched the power and effectiveness of ephedrine.

So I am sticking with purchasing hCG online, making my own shots or making my own oral hCG diet drops, thus insuring myself of exactly what I'm getting.

I do know that you will be in dietary ketosis following the hCG diet even without the shots as it is a form of low carb diet plan (minus the apple and orange) as you will a Stillman diet plan or Thin so Fast diet plan as outlines in the quick weight loss section.

Remember the hCG hormone protects the muscles on a very low calorie diet which is a very important benefit of the hCG hormone, muscle sparing. And I cannot find proof that the homeopathic version has this benefit.

So before you get all up in arms you hCG diet drop faithfuls, in the end it's a personal choice based the answers you find and what you feel comfortable with doing. I'm not here to disparage your choice but I am giving you the rational behind mine.

Happy Losing!

hCG Diet Part Deux

Well here goes Bye Bye Bye to another useless extra pounds and inches I don't need. This Christmas Eve I'm starting and I'm going to be a loser!


Seriously listen to the words, you can apply them to fat, food addiction or any habit you want. You gotta find little things to inspire you to stick with your diet and exercise plan and finding inspiration in and old Nsync song helps stick to your hCG diet protocol, then hey go for it.

With that, this should really do it!


Bring your Sexy Back in 2010 and if it's already back, take it to the next level!!!

Exercise & the hCG Diet Plan

T-Tapp, I feel is the best exercise you can do for yourself and works with the hCG diet plan.

Why? Losing a dress size in a matter a week coupled with the hCG diet plan, you just can't go wrong! And T-Tapp has many health and wellness benefits that, to me, surpass your basic walking, aerobic and other movement exercises.

You can get 20% off (code TT0925) till midnight tomorrow on any T-Tapp workout, read some T-Tapp testimonials and see the results for yourself.

You can always try T-Tapp before you buy too!

Really the T-Tapp Total workout gives you all the instructions to really make T-Tapp effective.

I purchased the T-Tapp book a few months ago, but it really isn't easy to follow, however does give a lot of good information that the video doesn't get into.

If have thyroid issues or nearing menopause, then The Menopause Thyroid Solution by Mary Shomon is an excellent read and has specific T-Tapp exercises designed for those with thyroid issues and going through menopause to help those symptoms specifically. If you don't know May Shomon she runs the about.com thyroid pages and has written The Thyroid Solution, (which I have also).

Final thing, IF you plan on starting your hCG diet plan on January 1st as part of your news years resolution to get fit and fabulous in 2010 then you can also participate in the T-Tapp challenge that starts January 15. And you should purchase your hCG supplies NOW to make sure you have all you need before January 1 comes in and make sure you know how to mix hCG for both injection or oral if you plan on going that route!

FAQ About the hCG Diet Plan

It seems the most FAQ regarding the hCG diet protocol is, "How to Cheat on the hCG Diet Plan", "What to Eat on the hCG Diet Plan", and "What are Gorge Days and What to Eat on hCG Gorge Days".

Dr. Simeons Pounds and Inches is very specific about what to eat during the hCG diet protocol but not that much during the hCG diet gorge days.

On the site I go into detail about these questions. What to eat on the hCG diet plan is addressed, cheating on the hCG diet plan, what the hCG diet gorge days are and what is best to eat and why and if you cheat on the hCG diet plan what to do.

And one of the most important things about the hCG diet plan is purchasing HCG! You can purchase hCG online and many things you need in a one stop market place that is updated with many items for the hCG diet plan from food, to books, to supplements. Items specifically for the hCG diet plan and other items that have health benefits.

Let Them Eat Bread?

I am all for eating right, finding what works for you and all, but when someone says that you MUST eat these foods I have to say, NO WAY! http://bit.ly/Eatbread No that you should avoid these foods forever, but if they are an issue for you, then moderation and little to none! Who wants to diet forever? Who wants to take hCG shots forever?

Find what works for you and know your body. Don't jump on what some article says and some of the things this article says is low fat ideology.

Read for yourself. http://bit.ly/Eatbread

Afraid of the hCG diet protocol?

That maybe understandable, injecting, mixing, and frankly I don't like what I'm reading about homeopathic hCG either. I'll post my thoughts on that a little later.

You still want to lose weight but maybe the hCG diet protocol is too much for you to wrap your mind around or seems to sever.

I found the Stillman Diet on my PC so I thought you may want to have a look at that. It is a little less restrictive than the hCG diet protocol and no mixing, no shots or anything involved.

This is in on way a put down of the hCG diet protocol, just an alternative if find the hCG diet plan too restrictive, too hard or just don't want to take the hCG. This is one of two of Dr. Stillmans diet plans. I'll post the other later this week and on my other site, hCG diet protocol site

=============================================
Dr. Stillmans’ 14 Day Shape Up Program

You choose from the foods selected as being high in protein low in carbohydrates and low in fats. Eat a satisfying amount without stuffing yourself. If you overload your stomach, eating portions of mammoth size you won’t lose weight as rapidly as you can and should. You should feel comfortably satisfied and not badly deprived or you might start feeling so sorry for yourself that you’ll eat your head off. And if you have to “cheat” on the diet, cheat on proteins.

You don’t eat any fats on this diet. You will note that all visible fat and skin are to be removed from fish, poultry, meat – whatever fat and skin seen and cut away as you eat your portion.

You avoid as completely as possible the use of butter, margarine, oil, or any other fats used in preparation as well as in eating.

Don’t eat anything not in the listing.

Don’t overload with one big meal a day on this diet. Spread your eating over at least 3 meals ( you will reduce even more rapidly if you distribute your days food intake over 5 or 6 meals instead of 3) If you take most of your daily food total in one meal, you overload your system. The elements (including proteins) are not “wasted” as efficiently, and your quick weight loss will be impeded.

You should lose 10 to 25 or more pounds (depending on how heavy you are at the start)-and trim off inches off all over- by following the Protein-PLUS Diet precisely.

If you aren’t losing rapidly, you are eating to much food or the wrong food.

Eat from this listing of foods for the Protein-PLUS Diet

POULTRY
CHICKEN
TURKEY
but NO DUCK OR GOOSE since they are generally much more fatty and higher in calories.
You may enjoy chicken livers twice a week if desired but no larger then two-ounce portions because of their high uric acid content.

ROASTED, BROILED, BOILED, BAKED OR STEAMED IS FINE.

DON’T EAT ANY SMOKED, SALTED OR PICKLED POULTRY WHILE ON YOUR PROTEIN PLUS DIET.

FISH - Fish is one of the very best foods you can eat on your Protein-PLUS diet. Since fish is generally, lower in calories then meats or even poultry you may eat larger portions, although they should still be moderate for the speediest slimming.

BASS PIKE
CARP RED SNAPPER
COD SALMON
CROAKER SEA BASS
FLOUNDER SMELTS
HADDOCK SOLE
HALIBUT STRIPPED BASS
PERCH TROUT
PICKEREL WHITING

Canned Salmon or Tuna are permitted but either use water packed canned fish, or drain off the oil from regular tuna or salmon.
CANNED SARDINES ARE NOT PERMITTED because of the salt content.

SEAFOOD

You may enjoy a large variety of seafood, including the following:

CLAMS

You may include seafood variations such as Crab legs, Lobster tails and prawns.

DON’T EAT ANY SMOKED, SALTED OR PICKLED SEAFOOD OF ANY KIND.

MEATS
(Remember only the “Lean” varieties all visible fat trimmed off)

BEEF
LAMB
VEAL
LEAN BACON
HAM
PORK
ALL-BEEF FRANKFURTERS

Cooking meats until Well-Done instead of “rare” reduces the calories per serving considerably.


DON’T EAT ANY SMOKED, SALTED OR PICKLED MEATS (other then mild All-Beef Frankfurters, and lean ham, and Bacon…and these in small portions only.
NO Bologna, NO salami, NO sausages or NO pressed luncheon meats.

EGGS

You may enjoy 1 or 2 Eggs at a time cooked you favorite way but without butter, margarine, oils or any other fats.
Don’t overeat Eggs , just as you should not overeat any other permitted foods. Keep in mind 1 large Egg is about 80 calories. That’s low enough when eaten in moderation but adds up if you pile in too many eggs daily.

Don’t eat Pickled or Creamed Eggs.

VEGETABLES

Though it is unusual for a High Protein diet to include vegetables there is certain restricted vegetables permitted.

If you prefer to skip Vegetables while on this diet you will be speeding your loss of pounds and inches even more effectively. The choice is yours.

You may have Salads made with all varieties of lettuce but just remember your salad takes the place of your vegetable at a meal- DON’T HAVE BOTH

You may eat raw vegetables if you like but only in moderation.

You may have the equivalent of a cup of permitted vegetables for lunch and another for dinner if desired.

SPINACH
SUMMER SQUASH

TURNIP GREENS
WATERCRESS
ZUCCHINI

Don’t use unlisted vegetables since many of them are higher in calories…such as Avocado, potatoes, corn etc..

Don’t use any rich dressings such as mayonnaise, thick salad dressings or any other high calorie dressing while on the Protein PLUS Diet. You may use low calorie dressings (under 10 calories per tablespoon) in limited quantities- no more than a tablespoonful-

You may use vinegar and fresh lemon or lime wedges (but no other fruits) on salads and on fresh raw or cooked vegetables if desired. Avoid salt as much as possible (salt substitute is permissible), but use as much as you desire of your favorite herbs and spices.

CHEESE

You may have up to a half cup of certain cheeses, which are relatively low in fat and high in protein:

COTTAGE CHEESE,
POT STYLE COTTAGE CHEESE
FARMERS CHEESE

When selecting your cheese keep in mind the calorie content for a half a cup serving and aim for the one that are between 80-95 calories for a half of a cup. The exception is for Farmer’s Cheese which is a compressed bar, read the label and use your judgment again aim for a serving size that is about 80-95 calories.

NO OTHER CHEESE is permitted while the on the Protein-Plus Diet.

SKIM MILK / BUTTERMILK
You may have a 4 ounce glass of skim milk or buttermilk daily if wanted BUT NOT BOTH on the same day or you may use the skim milk in coffee or tea if you prefer.

However, you will lose weight faster if you skip the skim milk and buttermilk entirely.

YOGURT
In place of the skim milk / buttermilk you may have a half cup daily of plain skim milk yogurt if desired. You are not permitted any sweetened or flavored yogurt. You may which to improve the taste of your yogurt by adding a little no-sugar flavoring or no-sugar jelly, jam or preserves.

BREADS

You may have a slice (serving) of Protein-PLUS Bread or Bun twice a day if you wish- but no more then 2 servings a day.
The recipe is very similar to Atkins Revolution Rolls the main difference is Stillmans recipe calls for 1 tablespoon of flour and Atkins does not. In my opinion, in this case it would be best to use the Atkins recipe since it doesn’t call for flour. However, you can do a search on this site and find the original recipe for Stillmans bread/buns.

BEVERAGES

You may drink all you wish daily (with in reason) of:
COFFEE (Regular or Decaffeinated)…TEA…with a dash of skim milk if desired, and artificial sweetener if wanted but no sugar.
You may have your fill of NO-SUGAR carbonated beverages of all flavors also CLUB SODA.

DRINK PLENTY OF WATER

You may enjoy up to 3 cups daily of any flavor of INSTANT BOUILLON or BROTH –packet or cube type (not canned) or CONSOMMÉ but make sure to prepare it diluted to half strength (because of salt content)

VERY IMPORTANT

MAKE SURE THAT YOU DRINK AT LEAST 10 GLASSES OR CUPS DAILY OF THE PERMITTED BEVERAGES…This includes your total daily intake of all beverages combined.

10 GLASSES OR CUPS DAILY or MORE will be all the better for you speedy slimming process BUT NEVER LESS THEN 10 GLASSES OR CUPS DAILY.

MISCELLANEOUS PERMITTED FOODS

NO-SUGAR GELATIN as much as 3 servings daily ( a serving/ portion size is 4oz) for meals and snacks (but only 1 portion per meal)

FORBIDDEN FOODS Your Basic rule is this: If a food is not in the permitted listings DO NOT USE IT

Use salt sparingly if at all. This is low salt eating for quicker weight loss; you may use salt substitute, or herbs and spices.

USE NO PRODUCTS CONTAINING SUGAR…NO CANDY…NO CHEWING GUM, BUT, as an exception, you may have 1 or 2 sticks of sugarless chewing gum daily if desired; however most types of sugarless gum do contain some carbohydrate , USE NO ARTIFICIALLY SWEETENED CANDY OR COOKIES OR CAKES. They are still high in carbohydrate, and therefore undesirable on this rapid-reducing diet.

EXERCISE IS RECOMMENDED You can enjoy two 15 minute sessions daily, one in the morning and one in the evening for speedier slimming.

Sick With Flu

Well if you have ever been sick and on a diet you know it's the best time to 1) lose weight and 2) have a little cheat.

With the increase in body temp you are increasing your metabolism so you do get a little residual of increase fat loss with a fever.

Now I'm not advocating you cheat but remember the old saying 'starve a fever, feed a cold.'

So what can you have to eat on the hCG diet protocol while you are sick? Vegetable soup, chicken noodle soup, and you can increase the carb count just a little while you are sick but don't go overboard.

To have good carbs while on the hCG diet protocol try the miracle noodles 0 net carb effect because it's full of fiber and will leave you filling fuller.

Get plenty of rest, don't stress and drink plenty of fluids. Like I will be doing!

They are fun, up beat and you are worth it!

Don't Buy Hype

I was reading a blog post about hCG diet protocol. Now I'm a firm believer in the hCG diet plan it worked for me before but I must be honest. I did gain weight back. See the diet didn't fail me, no diet fails. I failed to realize I had to treat my being over weight as a disease.

Obesity is the #1 self induced disease in the US not because we over eat, but because of the food we choose to eat and how our food is prepared. We grab fast food because it's quick and easy, we grab a box of prepared food to warm up in the microwave because we don't have time to cook. These items have usually have a list of chemicals and treatments that you don't find or have in food you make from scratch.

Now I don't mean you have to ground your own wheat to make bread but buying more organic foods and products for your health. Be conscience of what you are eating.

Also be conscience of why your eating. Depression, emotional eating, can also lead to obesity.

This is a good article I found, on obesity.



Bottom line is the hCG diet can be a step toward a cure, but it you have to be the cure all by understanding you have to change your diet for the long term, understand emotional eating and bring exercise into your life.

I lost weight before with low carb and kept it off for years because I made those changes. Having a baby, emotional eating, and stress packed on the pounds. The hCG diet protocol took it off quickly and frankly T-Tapp kept it off, but I stopped exercising and forgot all that I had learned while being a low carb dieter.

The hCG diet plan will get you slim fast but you have to work to keep it off long term.

Learn from my mistakes and get healthy!

Don't Wait

I know it's hard to diet during the holidays and it's always tempting to put it off till the new year or making losing weight a resolution. BUT, if you have read The Weight Loss Cure, and have decided to follow Kevin Trudeau's suggestions about cleanses and addressing candida, then you know waiting to start may take a few extra weeks.

Also there are little things you can do to pre start now. Start cutting back on sugar, pre packaged foods, white flours, processed foods, candy, chips, cookies, snacks and other things that we so often grab.

Start stocking your pantry and frig with your hCG diet plan foods. Order your hCG and your hCG supplies.

Also get yourself mentally ready and set your goals and milestones to keep you motivated.

Don't wait for the new year to start your hCG diet plan.

hCG Diet Kits

Anyone buying those hCG diet kits? Anyone try to make their own kits? DIY hCG diet kits? Anyone try to make their own hCG diet drops or oral hCG? Well I outlined how to do that and save yourself some $$ on the hCG diet. DIY hCG Diet Protocol to save both money and time.

I see many people are doing the homeopathic oral hCG. But my question is how does one make homeopathic oral hCG? hCG is a hormone that is produced in high amounts during pregnancy and excreted in urine. Even if it comes from animals would it not still have to have a prescription? Is there another way to produce hCG? I'm going to look into that. Yesterday couldn't find the information I wanted. So going to take another stab at homeopathic oral hCG.
